This guy has a granite chin because b-hop hit this guy clean and rocked him a few times but in the 12 rd. he got hit with some BOMBS and continued to fight...I don,t care who you are or how tough you are, no one can continue to get hit clean and not be effected...Same goes for Margarito who,s has one of those chins and is a great champ but, you might not feel it now but it will effect you down the road one way or another...
I've actually created a thread about this a few months ago.. I said the same thing.
He sustains a fair amount of punishment from each fight.. and has alot of fights already..
My feelings havent changed toward him. Hes still a good fighter who wil dominate middle. he should move up to 168 tho.. hes drains himself, i dont care what Jack Loew says..
He's one dimensional, many people who fought Pavlik thought they could bang with him. Hops is smart, he dismantled him, but he will have problems with anyone who has good boxing skills, in middle he will dominate like he's been doing though
i here ya
yea he,s been around a while OK...and just think that the speed on his punches look very slow and could be from all those years ou getting hit... imagine if margarito had speed on his punches...wow

Yeah, you're right, Margarito has only been a pro for what 16 years?:?!:
well
I would love to see abraham against pavlik...to finally see if pavlik is the real thing or abraham is a hype job... be interesting to find out who gets knockout...

you tell his career was gonna be short way before the hopkins fight. his style just isn't one that lasts.
Pavlik has never taken really brutal punishment sans the burst of offense Taylor put on him in rd 2 the first time. He'll be fine. Hopkins whooped him and busted him up but didn't deliver a frightful beatin that would ruin him.
I agree.....Margarito on the other hand(although an exciting champion) thinks defense is what keeps his dog in the yard.
